Root H.T., McCune M. & McCune B. (2013): Wind farm potential is higher in prime habitat for uncommon soil crust lichens, Ecological Processes, 2: 10 [8 p.]

Biotic soil crust communities contribute valuable ecosystem services and biodiversity in steppe ecosystems. The uncommon crust lichens Acarospora schleicheri, Fuscopannaria cyanolepra, Rhizocarpon diploschistidina, and Texosporium sancti-jacobi are associated with fine-textured soils along rivers of the Columbia Basin. A. schleicheri and R. diploschistidina indicate late-successional habitat and may serve as indicators for other rare or cryptic species associated with similar habitats. Much of the … Read more...

Georgiev K.B., Bässler C., Feldhaar H., Heibl C., Karasch P., Müller J., Perlik M., Weiss I. & Thorn S. (2022): Windthrow and salvage logging alter β-diversity of multiple species groups in a mountain spruce forest, Forest Ecology and Management, 520: 120401 [11 p.]

The response of biodiversity to natural and anthropogenic disturbances is a central topic in applied ecology. Climate change has altered forest disturbance regimes, resulting in global increases in stand-replacing disturbances, which are regularly followed by the removal of trees (salvage logging). Yet, the mid- to long-term effects of disturbances and salvage logging and the importance of species relative abundances on β-diversity remain unclear. We compared the β-diversity of 13 taxonomic groups … Read more...

Milligan G., Rose R.J. & Marrs R.H. (2016): Winners and losers in a long-term study of vegetation change at Moor House NNR: Effects of sheep-grazing and its removal on British upland vegetation, Ecological Indicators, 68: 89–101

Highlights: • We measured change in species groups in nine sheep-grazing experiments at Moor House ECN between 1954 and 2000. • Species richness declined through time. • Species groups that increased and those that decreased were identified. • Species groups responded differently to removal of sheep-grazing. • Liverworts and lichens were identified as potentially good indicator groups.

Horák J., Pavlíček J., Kout J. & Halda J.P. (2018): Winners and losers in the wilderness: response of biodiversity to the abandonment of ancient forest pastures, Biodiversity and Conservation, 27: 3019–3029

Large areas of formerly oak-dominated woodlands are currently managed for timber products, and if they are used in a conservation-oriented way, they are often abandoned and left to become wilderness. We focused on the situation when an oak woodland is still partly managed as an ancient game park and partly abandoned as a nature conservation amendment. We studied this effect using a multi-taxa approach with lichens, fungi and beetles and investigated their response to the changing patterns in canopy … Read more...

Larsson P., Solhaug K.A. & Gauslaa Y. (2014): Winter – the optimal logging season to sustain growth and performance of retained epiphytic lichens in boreal forests, Biological Conservation, 180: 108–114

Epiphytic lichens, comprising an important biodiversity component with significant functions in old boreal forests, are susceptible to logging. Leaving retention trees may partly compensate for the adverse effects of logging, but the impact of logging season on retained lichens is unknown. To identify the least harmful logging season seen from an epiphytic lichen perspective, we simulated logging events by transplanting two old forest model species – Lobaria pulmonaria (cephalolichen) and Lobaria … Read more...

Bjerke J.W. (2011): Winter climate change: Ice encapsulation at mild subfreezing temperatures kills freeze-tolerant lichens, Environmental and Experimental Botany, 72: 404-408

While it has been widely proven that many lichens are extremely freeze-tolerant in the dry state, little is known about how moist lichens respond to freezing under oxic and anoxic conditions. In circumpolar areas where lichens are an important component of boreal and Arctic ecosystems, winter climate is changing, leading to increased frequency of winter thaw and ground-icing events. It is imperative to elucidate in further detail how northern vegetation responds to being encapsulated in ice. … Read more...
